Imagine!

Imagine this improved upon. Imagine making this a reality. Imagine having it up to in-town speed. Imagine forward facing seats in a covered vehicle with windows. Imagine having the option of hand pedaling or foot pedaling, one at a time or at the same time. Imagine with our daily time constraints it becomes a membership on the go cardio club. The membership is like a bus-pass. :-)

Subject: interesting idea
I do remember that here in Germany several years ago there was something not identical, but I think that dealt with the same idea of bringing people together as they do cycle.

As I am wen enigineer I am interested in the way it works and the way things fit together. Especially the efficiency seems to be... well... take a look at how the way the people cycle and you know what I mean ;-).

It would be nice to have a link to the group that launched the project. Could this be added?

But the idea is interesting and I hope to see more of it in future terms
